Desmoid tumors are extremely rare. They represent 3% of all soft tissue tumors. Giant desmoid tumors are rarely reported in the literature and are a challenge in their therapeutic management. The radiological evaluation of extension allowed to delimit its extension in depth and its limits of exeresis. In our case, the tumor was surgically resected with simple postoperative care. This case illustrates the difficulties of managing this entity given its large size.
Gangrene of the penis is a rare but serious pathology. The etiologies are diverse with diabetes being the main one. We report the case of a 65 years old diabetic and chronic smoker who presented a necrosis of the penis and had a total amputation of the penis. The evolution was marked by the development of sepsis and death of the patient.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
